Seriously? OMG! WTF?

June Squibb is 96 years young, and she has no plans on stopping acting anytime soon. So, today, she made history when her name was announced as a Tony nominee for Best Actress in a Featured Role in a Play for Marjorie Prime. The actress is the oldest person to receive an acting nomination.

Before she took the stage tonight, she posed for a photo in her dressing room. She shared that beautiful moment and wrote, “Basking in this Tony Award Nomination full circle moment 💫”

The Oscar-nominee has been working on the Great White Way since 1959, when she made her debut in Gypsy during its original run. This is the fifth time she has starred in a Broadway production, but it is her first nomination. Proving you are never too old for firsts.

The Tony Awards winners will be announced on June 7th on CBS. If she wins, she will share the title for the oldest Tony winner. But how can that be if she is the oldest nominee? John Kander, who was 96 at the time, was honored with a Special Tony Award for Lifetime Achievement in 2023.

The previous oldest nominee was Lois Smith, who, at 89, was the oldest nominee for her part in The Inheritance. She went on to win the award. Smith also starred in a Broadway production of Marjorie Prime. Hopefully, all of that is a good sign for Squibb.

I hope I didn’t jinx her because I would love to see her receive a statuette on Broadway’s biggest night!

Before June Squibb was a senior citizen, she was in The Day the Senior Class Got Married. She is just as beautiful now as she was when she was 55 in that 1985 episode!

June Squibb has finally found the fame she deserves in her 90s, so there must be a lot of advantages to turning 95?

Andrew Freund interviewed the legend in the back of a Waymo, and he wanted to know what the best thing is about reaching that milestone. She told him, “Oh, just that you really don’t care what anyone thinks!”

Wise words from a wise woman. We should all not give a fuck what anyone thinks about us because who are they to think that about me and you?

Now, let’s talk about Waymo. Would you go for a ride in one? Yesterday, my friend asked me if I had ever taken one. He could tell by the way I said no that I haven’t and wouldn’t be taking one anytime soon. I have felt that way ever since the Game Shakers/Henry Danger crossover episode when they went for a drive in a driverless taxi. Not for me, and I love scary rides.

June Squibb might be 94 years old, but she is not too old to kick your ass.

The actress, whose new movie is coming out on June 21st, has a message for anyone who plans to use their phone during a screening of Thelma: Don’t do it.

After watching her threat, I will leave my phone in the car. Better safe than sorry, especially because Squibb is so scary

June Squibb might be 94 years old. However, she is not too old to experience a first in her career, which has spanned over 70 years.

The actress is starring in the movie Thelma. Believe it or not, this is the first time she has been the lead in a production.

Thelma Post, a feisty 93-year-old grandmother who gets conned by a phone scammer pretending to be her grandson (Fred Hechinger) and sets out on a treacherous quest across Los Angeles, accompanied by an aging friend (Richard Roundtree) and his motorized scooter, to reclaim what was taken from her.

And here is something else impressive about Squibb and the movie. She did her own stunts in the action film.

Squibb might look sweet, but she is one tough woman you don’t want to mess with! And that is why we love her.

Thelma is coming to theaters on June 21st.
